Red Steel 2

Just bought it on Amazon with free super saver shipping. But probably won't open it up until after I take my Fundamental of Engineering exam mid-April.

I've put in a good 4-5 hours more since my initial impressions, and I got to say the more the game opens up, the more impressed I am with it.

I also want to clarify, this really isn't a first person shooter, its more of a first person adventure game. It carries itself more like a brawler than a real shooter. Some enemies are impossible to beat with a gun (but not undoable)

And you continue to learn new and awesome moves, like I just learned a move which pretty much allows me to create a mini shockwave to knock enemies back.

Speaking of enemies, they continue to evolve, forcing you to try new things. Just met a ninja type enemy that has a gun on one hand and like shredder gauntlet on the other hand, meaning they pretty much deflect all your bullets so need to dodge behind them, but not too close since they can push you back.

Upgrades are pretty sweet, you can upgrade your sword, different moves and powers. Upgrade your guns and upgrade your armour. Its all pretty standard, but gets the job done.

I really don't know what else to say, but this is one of the finest games I've played in a while. I love the setting, and even the voice acting. I think anyone who owns a Wii should give this a rental.
